One thing to notice as you play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you need to achieve
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Start here and follow along
- Swap adjacent pieces to make a line of three or more.
- Matched pieces disappear.
- Falling pieces can trigger cascades.
- Reach the target before running out of moves.
How your actions work
Tap adjacent cells. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
Work through an example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Pay attention to this rule
A swap making no match is reverted. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
